Evidence as to Man’s Place in Nature
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textThomas Henry Huxley, who called himself Darwin’s bulldog, set the anatomy of the apes beside that of man and found the differences smaller than anyone liked. Evidence as to Man’s Place in Nature came out in 1863, eight years before Darwin published his own book on the subject. Its frontispiece, a row of skeletons from gibbon to man, has been copied ever since.
